What is an undercard in boxing?

The undercard, or preliminary matches, consists of preliminary bouts that occur before the headline or "main event" of a particular boxing, professional wrestling, horse racing, auto racing, or other sports event. (In auto racing, however, the term "support race" occurs more commonly.) Typically, promoters intend the undercard to provide fans with an opportunity to see up-and-coming fighters or fighters not so well-known and popular as their counterparts in the main event. The undercard also ensures that if the main event ends quickly fans will still feel that they received sufficient value for the price of their admission.

What did Joe Frazier do?

Won the Heavyweight title after Muhammad Ali was dispossed of the championship for refusing induction into the US Armed Services (actually, I believe the such put him into -long term- litigation.....). Solidified claim on title when he took Jimmy Ellis (WBA reigning titleist) apart at M.S.G. and then participated in the at the time highest purses boxing match (2.5 mil., ea.) with the returning Muham.Ali -winning- in what was billed as "The Fight of the Century" (and, in most folks minds, -truly was that-). The Ali match came in 71. Frazier was a truly tremendous and "Great...." champion. When he lost the title in such "shocking" form with George Foreman, in Jamaca, the average citzen on the street was rocked and shocked to their -socks-. He came back..fought Ali in two more matches losing ea. however, their third battle, known as "The Thriller in Manilla" is recognized as an all-time-great -contest-//Joe Frazier is yet living and reported in good health. he lives in Philadelphia and has a very famous boxing gym, there. Career: Ali beat him twice; and Foreman beat him, twice. No one else ever could though, he did have a late age comeback draw with a low-medium commodity (historically) named Jumbo Cummings (in one of Joe Frazier's books he calls that meeting a 'win', but...it was a 'draw', officially)
